26-year-old Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke) is a happy, outgoing woman who lives with and supports her working-class family. After losing her job at a local cafe, she is hired as the caregiver of Will Traynor (Sam Claflin), a former successful banker and once active young man who became paralyzed after being involved in a motorcycle accident two years prior. Louisa has no experience but Will's mother believes her positivity will help lift his spirits. Will also spends time with Nathan, his physical therapist, who mostly helps him with exercise and movement, despite both knowing he will never regain use of his body due to the damage to his spinal cord.

Cynical and depressed because he can no longer live a life of luxury, he initially reacts coldly to Louisa's joyful wackiness and treats her with contempt. However, one night, Will asks Louisa to stay late and watch a film with him, and she accepts. The two begin to bond and eventually become close friends. Will also has a visit from his former best friend and ex-girlfriend who reveal they are engaged and would like Will to attend the wedding. Louisa and Will continue to talk daily; she learns that Will has travelled extensively, his favourite place being Paris. She tells him that outside of work, she doesn't have many interests or hobbies, and spends most of her time at home. She has a long-term boyfriend, Patrick (Matthew Lewis), but he is currently training to take part in a biking triathlon in Norway, a hobby that he often chooses over spending time with her. Will urges Louisa to change and tells her she should live life as fully as possible.

While at work one day, Louisa overhears Will's parents and she learns that Will has given his parents six months before taking him to Dignitas in Switzerland for assisted suicide. He cannot deal with the pain and suffering of his disability and wishes for his old self to come back, but because this isn't a possibility, he has asked his parents to do this one thing for him. Louisa also notices Will's scarred wrists from previous suicide attempts. Upon knowing this, Louisa secretly makes it her mission to change his mind and organises various trips and adventures to try and prove to Will that life is worth living, despite his disability. Will gradually becomes more communicative and open-minded as they spend more time together. The pair go to a Mozart concert, watch the horse racing, Will meets Louisa's family on her birthday, and they eventually decide to attend Will's ex-girlfriend's wedding together.

Meanwhile, Louisa's father loses his job, causing more financial difficulties for their family. Fortunately, Will's father offers him a job and Louisa realises that Will is trying to help her secure her freedom from her family. They soon develop strong feelings for one another, ending her relationship with Patrick.

During their final trip to the island of Mauritius together, Will confesses how he still intends to follow through with the euthanasia, despite his love for her, as he wants her to live a full life instead of "half a life" with him. He says their time together has been special, but he cannot bear to live in a wheelchair. However, he asks for her to accompany him to Switzerland to say goodbye. Angry and hurt, she informs Will's parents she has quit upon arriving back in the United Kingdom, and does not speak to Will for the days that follow. However, at home, Louisa's father persuades her to go to Will and enjoy the time they have left. She knows it is the right thing to do and flies to Switzerland to be with Will in his final moments.

After his death, he writes her a letter, which she reads while dining at his favourite cafe in Paris, one place he told her she must visit. He explains he has left her just enough money to follow her dreams, and instructs her to "live well" or "just live".
